| Abstract | The US DOT sponsored Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) program seeks to identify, develop, and deploy applications that leverage the full potential of connected vehicles, travelers and infrastructure to enhance current operational practices and transform future surface transportation systems management.1 The DMA Program consists of a set of transformative mobility applications that, when bundled together, impact the transportation system to improve mobility. The Response, Emergency Staging, Communications, Uniform Management, and Evacuation (R.E.S.C.U.M.E.) is included in the DMA bundles. The R.E.S.C.U.M.E. bundle includes four applications: Advanced Automatic Crash Notification Relay (AACN-RELAY), Incident Scene Pre-Arrival Staging Guidance for Emergency Responders (RESP-STG), Incident Scene Work Zone Alerts for Drivers and Workers (INC-ZONE), and Emergency Communications for Evacuation (EVAC). It is expected to communicate and interact with the other bundles under two different communication mechanisms. First, the R.E.S.C.U.M.E. bundle is expected to exchange information with other DMA Program bundles through an Information Broker (discussed below). Second, the R.E.S.C.U.M.E. bundle will use CV technology as a communication bridge to transfer information between bundles. This document describes the Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the R.E.S.C.U.M.E. bundle. The ConOps is a user-oriented document that describes system characteristics for a proposed system from the users' viewpoint. The ConOps document is used to communicate the overall quantitative and qualitative system characteristics to the user, buyer, developer and other organizational elements (e.g. training, facilities, staffing and maintenance). It is used to describe the user organization(s), mission(s) and organizational objectives from an integrated systems point of view. The ConOps describes the current states of operations in areas that correspond to the applications described, establishes the reasons for change, and outlines the envisioned R.E.S.C.U.M.E. Bundle Applications in terms of the features and operations and the systems that support it. The ConOps was developed based on the requirements defined in IEEE Standard 1362-1998 – IEEE Standard Guide for Information Technology – System Definition – Concept of Operations (ConOps) Document. |
